NOTE: This list has been updated several times to correct some errors and add additional information. Last updated Dec 15, 2007
Thanks to the Financial Information Act I have been able to extract some information about the value of our lakes and streams that have been privatized for power generation in the past. The following is a list of payments made by BC Hydro to IPPs for the purchase of hydro power. As a Hydro customer it is you that is paying for power being generated from resources you once owned. The data for this list can be found on the Openness and Accountability page on BC Hydro's web site. | Alcan Inc. | | 2002 | $41,235,265 | | | 2003 | $57,090,970 | | | 2004 | $56,573,753 | | | 2005 | $56,493,668 | | | 2006 | $57,458,039 | | | 2007 | $58,627,418 | | | 2007 | $38,232,987 | | | $365,712,100 | | | | | Arrow Lakes Power Corporation | | 2003 | $3,177,193 | Arrow Lakes Power Company | | 2004 | $5,872,428 | Arrow Lakes Power Company | | 2004 | $22,566,289 | | | 2005 | $23,500,201 | | | 2006 | $25,612,999 | | | 2007 | $31,250,889 | | | $111,979,999 | | | | | Soo River Hydro | | 1995 | $2,561,212 | | | 1996 | $4,026,610 | | | 1997 | $3,631,708 | | | 1998 | $4,090,392 | | | 1999 | $3,628,215 | | | 2000 | $3,674,234 | | | 2001 | $3,645,947 | | | 2002 | $4,183,318 | | | 2003 | $4,166,710 | | | 2004 | $4,570,027 | | | 2005 | $5,131,644 | | | 2006 | $4,956,301 | | | 2007 | $4,394,180 | | | $52,660,498 | | | | | Coastal Rivers Power Limited Partnership | | 2005 | $8,091,112 | | | 2006 | $16,450,641 | | | 2007 | $16,132,878 | | | $40,674,631 | | | | | Clean Power Operating Trust | | 2002 | $2,529,273 | | | 2003 | $6,713,024 | | | 2004 | $6,992,812 | | | 2005 | $7,833,161 | | | 2006 | $8,143,226 | | | 2007 | $8,315,261 | | | $40,526,757 | | | | | Queen Charlotte Power Corp. | | 1994 | $2,772,648 | | | 1995 | $3,393,353 | | | 1996 | $3,182,461 | | | 1997 | $2,786,629 | | | 1998 | $3,483,285 | | | 1999 | $3,286,447 | | | 2000 | $3,732,292 | | | 2001 | $3,637,758 | | | 2002 | $3,567,143 | | | 2003 | $3,239,765 | | | 2004 | $3,352,059 | | | 2005 | $1,054,363 | | | $37,488,203 | | | | | Pingston Creek Hydro Joint Venture | | 2004 | $6,465,126 | | | 2005 | $11,799,619 | | | 2006 | $10,068,179 | | | 2007 | $9,028,688 | | | $37,361,612 | | | | | Boston Bar Ltd.
